Real Talk About Suffering

September 3, 2024 • Jody Gras & Shawna Beyer

Just like those in the Bible our suffering is often the reason we go to God. And once there, we find so much more than just relief. We find strength to endure. We find companionship. We learn more about the heart of God. We mature in our faith. Jody and Shawna share their own stories of suffering and the unexpected, beautiful intimacy that came from some of life’s hardest moments.

November 19, 2024 • Jody Gras & Shawna Beyer

It’s fall y’all! And it’s ALMOST Thanksgiving. Jody and Shawna share what they are looking forward to this Thanksgiving. (Hint: it has to do with their people!) Join us for a conversation about how to turn Thanksgiving from a holiday to a lifestyle.

Real Talk About Identity Part 2

November 12, 2024 • Jody Gras & Shawna Beyer

Do you know who God says you are? Do you know why you’re here? Your God given purpose for being here? You are uniquely designed to show the world who God is. In this episode Jody and Shawna process in real time what they are learning about their God-given identity. In episode 73 Shawna shared what she’s learning from Jamie Winship’s Living Fearless and today they revisit that topic and Jody shares what she is learning as well. It will be a lifelong discovery but we’re glad to be starting it with you.

Anxiety in the Holidays

November 5, 2024 • Jody Gras & Shawna Beyer

Shawna gets anxious about hosting. Jody gets anxious about the clean up when it's all over. Maybe you feel anxious about relationships or buying gifts or unmet expectations. It's all very real. But also real...there is a God who loves you, and will be with you through it all. And He is the Prince of Peace.
